Why Does Gecko waterlab need Water Reports / Test Strips

Last updated 4 months ago

Overview

Gecko waterlab helps you keep your spa water perfectly balanced at all times. It automatically monitors key water qualities through its built-in sensor and reminds you when it’s time for a manual checkup using water reports and test strips.


24/7 smart monitoring

Gecko waterlab continuously tracks your spa’s most important water parameters so you can enjoy clear, safe, and comfortable water every day.

  • Monitored automatically: pH, sanitizer (ORP), and temperature

  • Automatic alerts: You’ll receive a notification if any value goes out of range or if an adjustment is needed.

💡 Tip: Regular monitoring helps prevent water issues before they happen, keeping your spa ready whenever you are.


Monthly water reports

Some water qualities change more slowly and can’t be measured by an electronic sensor. Gecko waterlab will remind you to submit a water report about once a month to stay on top of these:

  • Measured manually: Hardness, alkalinity, and cyanuric acid (CYA)

You can use photo-scan in the Gecko waterlab section of the app to scan the included test strips for the easiest, most accurate results.

⚠️ Notice: You can also enter results manually if you’ve used a pool store test or another type of strip or kit.


Why this matters

By combining smart sensors with quick manual checkups, Gecko waterlab gives you a complete picture of your spa water health, helping you save time, extend equipment life, and enjoy cleaner, clearer water.
